This woman is either so busy she needs to hand off some of her caseload or she is completely unorganized and incompetent. At the Staffing we discussed and made a tentative calender for the transition. She was supposed to tell the foster parents she has a forever home for the kids the next day and a week later she had not talked to them yet. As of today at 5PM she still has not let us know if the schedule was a go or not. It is so frustrating.

My best friend who has adopted 5 children from the foster care system over the years says that she'd keep doing it except for one thing ... the workers, she says that she spends way too much time waiting for workers to call (her workers have always had a horrible track record for returning calls), visit (her workers are always late), or just plain do their jobs (several of her adoptions have been delayed because someone forgot to sign in the right spot or simply failed to put a stamp on something and mail it).

I know that workers often carry HUGE caseloads, but sometimes it's just baffling how they don't take 2 minutes to pick up the phone to address the simplest of issues.

PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!

About Me

I am the mother of 10 children, 6 are part of a large sibling group we adopted through foster care in 2006, 2 are our grown foster daughters, 2 are from independent infant adoptions in 2001 and 2008. Every one of them have their own issues to work through from Schizo-Affective Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Complex PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, ADHD, and Cerebral Palsy. Most of our children have been victims of sexual abuse by a close family member, most acted out sexually or exhibited predatory behaviors. We are currently trying to figure out where the trauma ends and mental illness begins in each of their lives.
